Where’s a Good Spot for Coffee in Alexandria? With a River View in Georgetown?

I’ve been in the area for 5+ years, but I’ve never ventured over to Alexandria. (I know, I know.) I’m looking for a good place to meet a potential date for coffee after work over there. Somewhere very public, and that allows for good conversation is ideal. Open to whatever y’all throw my way. Thank you!”

and in Georgetown:

“Do you know if there is any coffee shop or restaurant, besides Sequoia, that has a nice view of the river?”
